OBJECTIVE:
To create a control dashboard for my car (Ford Ecosport) that will display current status (door open, lights, odo, temprature, distance to car in front, etc) as well as be able to automate/control certain systems in the car (AC, lights, warnings, etc).
APPROACH:
1. Tap into existing sensors/systems on board through the OBDII port and canbus.
2. Install new sensors like additional parking sensors in front/side, temperature sensor, ambient light sensor, etc.
THINGS TO DO:
1. Learn to tap into the car's canbus, to read and control the system (IN PROGRESS)
2. Learn to read information from the parking sensor systems (IN PROGRESS)
3. Decide on platform for dashboard (device and OS)
4. Development of dashboard.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
1. Daily driver phone to fit into the system, primarily for Maps, Calls and Podcasts.
2. Minimize permanent work on car, so as to not impact resale value.
I will be updating this post, as required.
